This planned community is a bit of a drive from Destin, but it has some fantastic shops to look through. Most of them are located along the beach, but you'll also find good ones in the downtown area, which is just a hop, skip and a jump away. An open-air market displays goods in the open breezes and sunlight, and other shops sell clothing, artwork, home accessories, toys, games and books. Restaurants and cafes also share the space and are a convenient place to pick up delicious snacks, beverages and entrees. Hours in-season are from 10am to 9pm but in the off-season most stores close at 6pm.
